This invention relates to a mounting memvber for locks, and particularly rim type locks.

It is an objecty of the invention to provide' A the vpresent invention also contemplatinga mounting vmember by means of which vari'- ations in alignment may be compensated for.

`It is al further object of .the invention to Y provide a device of this character which may be readily and economically manufactured and which will be rugged in construction.

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear herein.`

after.

The ,invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements inafter described and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:`

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a lock mounting embodying the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken along `the lines 2-2 and inthe direction of the arrows of Fig. 3; and

Fig. 3- is an end view of the mounting.

In these views the body of the mounting is shown as including a substantially U- shaped portion 5 embracing .a body, which as in Fig; 2 is substantially T-,shaped in cross-section'. It will be noted further inv this `gure that the shank 6 of this portion is f disposed nearer one side edge thereof than the other. As a consequence, on one side f of the mounting a comparatively shallow recess 7 is provided, and on the other side a comparatively deep recess 8 is furnished. The arms of the portion 5 are joined by a web 9, the outer edge of which may be thickened as at 10; it being observed-referring to Fig. 3-that adjacent its upper and lower endsthe web may be recessed at` 11 to provide which will beexemplified in the article here-v` ti'theselpointsaspac'ehaving a depth equal tothe vdepth/of the recess 8. f ,f Y 911;.` will be understood that 'the present v mounting h asbeen shown and described as having vsuch ashape as is desirable for` the n:i5l mounting' of a lo'ck having 'ajcoijre'sponding outline. llltwillfbeapp'reciated;however, that v. the shape' of the mounting' member may be variedinnuinerous respectsto conform to the Y outline'oftlie.lock-which is to 'be' mounted. e0

",Thus, with reference tothe specific embodinientlillus'tratedif it is Vfound that the keeper of aV vrim` type lock, Idees' not alignproperly "with the lockbol-t, which difficulty normally 'wouldnecessita-te the recessng'of the 'door'.95 jamhto accommodate the keeper; thefmounting isapplied tof the face of the door, and the lock is, in turn',` v'p'osi-tone'd beyond the outer 'edgeifthefiionting member'. .A To secure the parts. in y position it willrbe apparent that the 'Z0 A'usualSc'I'evvs orfboltswhich fasten thelock casete" the-door maybeutnizea and Vte this l`end, the we'b isiv vformed with Y openings 'V12 Vf Orthe.passage of thesfemeinbers. .The lock 'caseAwillfitfsnugly `against the mountingand A75 itsedgewillbfar against theouternist edgey i oftliesliankGQ-- fxf Qbviouslyf, 'by mean'sof the present inven- {tion if it ifslffxund thatfwith 'the lock casing extending? into .thev recess amb, the Vmounting .member may be reversed so that the 'lock casing extends into the shal-l f lower recess 7 it kbeing thereuponapparent that the bolt., when projecterh. will Iextend in.;

Thus, Aamong .otheis, theY objects 4[of this inl vent'irciimE haveV been accomplished,- and since certain changes'may be made in the above'article and different embodiments of the inven; Y

tion could be made without departing from4 the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall `be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limit-39 ing sense. v It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the Generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of theil l y 8 the boltidoesnotJO y Qali'gnf with-the keepersecured to the .door

scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 5 Patent is:

l. A mounting member to be interposed between a lock casing and a support therefor, said member including a body formed with recesses of different depths in its opposite lo faces and within either of which the lock casing is to seat. Y

v 2. A mounting member to be interposed between a lock casing and a support therefor, said member including a body T-shaped inV cross section, the shank of said T being disposed nearer one of its side edges than the v' other side edge thereof.

3. A mounting member to be interposed between a lock casing and a support therefor, Y Y

said member including a bodypresenting a pair of arms and a web portionextending bef tween said arms and being of a thickness less than the thickness of said body.

4. A mounting member to be interposed between a lock casing and a support therefor, said member including a body presenting a pair of arms and a web portion extending between saidV arms and being of a thickness less than the thickness of said body,the edge of said web being relatively thickened, and the body thereof being formed with openings for the passage of fastening elements.

5. A mounting member to be interposed between a lock casing and a support therefor,

said member including a body presenting a pair of arms and a web portion extending between said arms and being of a thickness less than the thickness of said body, the edge of said web being relatively thickened, and being reduced adjacent its ends to a thickness substantially equal to that of the web body.

Y 6. A lock mounting including a body shaped to conform to the lock casing which it is to mount, said body presenting a pair of spaced arms, and a web of material integral with and extending between said arms and in a plane intermediate the side faces thereof, said web being formed with openings for the passage of fastening elements extending from the lock casing which said member is to mount.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
